Father, A Moment With You (CD)

Our most personal project to date, Father, A Moment With You, is a collection of songs centered on faith, featuring seven original songs, one written by our friend Zach White (who performs with Keith & Kristyn Getty), and three beloved hymns.

This project was recorded at Forty-One Fifteen Studio in Nashville, TN with Dewey Boyd and Cory Halterman as the recording engineers. Preproduction of the album was by Ron Block. The album was produced by Zeb Snyder alongside Katie Petersen and Emmett Franz. The album was mixed by Dewey Boyd and mastered by Adam Grover. Check out the audio on Apple Music to enjoy it in its full Dolby Atmos potential, Dolby Atmos mastered by Troy Dixon. The artwork is by Parker Hale.
